The PTPTN loan is by far the most popular choice among students seeking financial aid to help them pay for their higher education studies. While many know about this loan, it has conditions for a student to qualify and procedures to follow in order to receive approval.  Similarly, with a PTPTN loan, there are many instances where you can be blacklisted, especially if you fail to repay your loan on time. If you are blacklisted, you will be prohibited from traveling abroad and renewing your passport. Here is everything you need to know about repaying your PTPTN loan. 

We know that furthering higher education studies can come with a hefty price tag. You can check for the latest tuition fee costs for all popular courses at public and private universities here. This is the reason why we are sharing with you the scholarships or loans offered by the state governments which many do not know about. Students from private institutions, as well as students from public institutions, are eligible to apply for it.   

Some state governments even offer convertible loans. If the borrower successfully completes their studies with a first-class, the loan will automatically be converted into a scholarship.

Also, for your information, the majority of loans under the state government do not charge any interest. The amount borrowed is the same as the amount to be repaid. There are some state governments that only require borrowers to pay 25% of the total loan amount. So, why apply for PTPTN when you have a better option to consider?
